Hikvision Launches Next-Generation 'High Heat-Resistant Camera Series' to Accelerate DX in Manufacturing in the Japanese Market

Hikvision will launch its next-generation 'High Heat-Resistant Camera Series' in the Japanese market this April, designed to accelerate digital transformation (DX) in manufacturing. This series enables stable, real-time monitoring in high-temperature environments ranging from 85℃ to an unprecedented 2,000℃, where conventional cameras could not be installed. By leveraging proprietary dual air/water cooling structures and semiconductor cooling technology (Peltier elements), Hikvision offers new solutions for safety management and efficiency in smart factories.

Background of Development: The Challenge of 'Visualization' in Harsh Thermal Environments

In sites such as steel melting furnaces, cement kilns, and firing kilns, real-time understanding of internal conditions is indispensable for improving quality control and safety. However, environments exceeding several hundred to over a thousand degrees Celsius are fatal for precision equipment, and monitoring has been limited to visual inspection or restricted surveillance until now. Our high heat-resistant camera series solves these challenges with state-of-the-art engineering design.

Product Lineup and Features

1. Furnace Monitoring Camera (Supports up to 2,000℃)

- Dual Vortex Air Cooling Structure: Protects internal equipment even in furnaces reaching 2,000℃. - Sapphire Glass Lens: Employs a heat-resistant and wear-resistant lens to ensure clear visibility. - Self-Protection Mechanism: Equipped with a safety function that automatically retracts the lens upon detecting temperature increases or pressure drops. - Proprietary Fire Detection Algorithm with 99%+ Accuracy: Supports AI-driven fire detection and automatic analysis of combustion conditions.

2. Water/Air-Cooled Camera (Supports 150℃ to 250℃)

- Circulating Air/Water Real-time Cooling Mechanism, Dust Removal by Air Curtain. - Electric Zoom Lens: 2.8-12mm, 8-32mm. - Environmental Adaptability: SUS304 stainless steel casing, temperature and corrosion resistance. - Infrared/White Light Fill-in Option: 200W/400W/800W.

3. Semiconductor Cooling Camera (Supports up to 85℃)

- Utilizes Peltier Element: Achieves an ultra-thin 90mm body thanks to semiconductor cooling technology that does not require external cooling water. - Tobacco Roasting AI-ISP Algorithm: Precisely determines dynamic and static regions, provides adaptive spatio-temporal noise reduction, and ensures clarity and color reproduction in the tobacco leaf drying process. - Rectangular Illumination System, Achieving Uniform and Highly Efficient Light Irradiation: 5500K high color rendering LED light source, high-temperature lamp cup design, batwing light distribution.

Breaking the Heat Barrier, Visualizing the Future of the Factory Floor

Visualizing high-temperature areas that were previously 'invisible' directly leads to improved quality, energy saving, and ensuring the safety of on-site workers. Through advanced cooling technology and image processing technology, Hikvision will continue to pave the way for a smarter and more sustainable manufacturing future together with its customers.
